Hi JC, Yes, validation of your extensions should be done separately from removal of extensions. However, for adding of extensions, you might not need to validate because the ADD and SET operator for AdGroupExtensionSettingService.mutate() <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/AdGroupExtensionSettingService#mutate> are treated identically so if you try to ADD an existing extension, it will just be treated as a SET operation.
As for your last statement, I want to clarify that you want to have the option to send a single operation for adding or removing of extensions to multiple ad groups wherein you can specify an array of ad groups and array of extensions in a single operation? I will try to raise this to the team but I can't guarantee that it will be added to future release. However, you may try to achieve similar behavior by: 1. Getting the list of ad groups 2. Traversing through each ad group and validate existing extensions (validation could possibly be for REMOVE operation only) 3. Perform multiple separate REMOVE or ADD operation of extensions to each ad group The decision to do Step 3 synchronously via AdGroupExtensionSettingService or asynchronously via BatchJobService or your own mechanism depends on your design. In addition, here's a guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/extension-settings> in managing ad extensions via Extension Setting Services.
